Good one !,

although i am experience a small problem, in your listener tutorial, the below is used as stated in the tutorial, but when i press OK the only thing that happens is that the view dialog dissapears - hence the app is still running. I want it to shutdown and force me back to main menu or homescreen.

Couldn't you pass the Activity into your Dialog constructor, then call <Activity>.finish(); on it from the button click listener? I'm not at my development computer to try it at the moment, but it seems like that should work...

hello.......
I have problem in getting the editText value from the dialog box...
can you just let me knw how to get that........


The code is:

LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
ViewGroup aboutview = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(R.layout.pop_up, null);
EditText e= (EditText)aboutview.findViewById(R.id.number1);
e.setText("hello");// m getting a null here...

Plz help ...

But I have a problem when I try to follow the example and apply it to my own app: it does not block. I need to pause my application, allow the user to provide some additional information, pass the information back to the calling app and then allow the calling app to continue.

Which problem did u get? I think that u can use new Intent to make ur application.
U can follow this code to create the dialog and add something u want:

Code: Select all

LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
ViewGroup aboutview = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(R.layout.pop_up, null);


Goodluck.
Alex.

It seems to be possible as it is written in the official android dev guide http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#CustomDialog
Take a look after third topic (end of the guide) on the page above.

Thank you very much Mr.darolla. This tutorial simplifies the mastery of Android Dialog boxes. Great tutorial.

Hi,
Your examples have been really great. I am still having a problem with my dialog box. I simply want to modify a string depending which button is pressed in the dialog box. I've declared globalstring at the top of the class. When I click either "Yes" or "No" the dialog closes but globalstring is never modified.

Here is part of my code below. Is there a better way of doing this? THANKS!!!!:

String answer="";
new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setTitle("Test")
.setMessage("Ready?")
.setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dlg, int sumthin) {
globalstring="Yes has been clicked";
}
})
.setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dlg, int sumthin) {
globalstring="No has been clicked";
}
})
.show();
answer=globalstring;

This thread prove to be very useful, Thanks all;
her my question is;
in my dialog I have a simple input field that takes user email; with two buttons 1. "Submit ", 2. "Cancle"
and I need to control the dialog dismiss operation.
below attached code do not have any dismiss() function call, But either i press cancle or Submit Dialog gets disapper. I need to control the dialog hide/show during email validation.

This is the Layout XML "alert_email_subscription"

DaRolla, thanks for the nice tutorial. But you are not quite right here - you can use AlertDialog just fine with XML layouts and the best part to retain all the features of AlertDialog like positive/negative buttons and other goodies.

Scroll down to this page to see how to do that:

Hi,
I have implemented TouchEventHandler for an activity that has a CameraPreview. If I display a Dialog on top of that activity how can I close it when the user touches on the Dialog?
